Siren 1 Posted October 12, 2004 Don't hear much about her but... DOB 30 March 1902 A socialite, philanthropist, and writer, Astor was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Largely self-educated, she was a magazine journalist and the author of four books. She married three times (once divorced, twice widowed). Her third husband, Vincent Astor, left her with a fortune that allowed her to become a philanthropist of major proportions. She has awarded an average of 100 grants a year ($9 million a year) to civic projects, social projects, and cultural institutions in New York City, the New York Public Library being one of her major beneficiaries.

Guest Death List Watcher Posted January 17, 2005 Ms. Astor certainly has withstood the test of time. I admire her for that. However, I believe she has a maximum of two years left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Alicia Johnson Posted February 8, 2005 She is one old woman she will be 103 in late march I worked for Mrs Astor for 12 years in her summer home in maine.She will be 103 in March she is one of a kind and the last of a generation of a real lady.You may not think she is all together but i can almost bet she would change things if she had the right to do it for herself. She is the best and most giving person i will ever know. I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO HER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Death List Observer Posted February 19, 2005 I've not been able to retrieve any information regarding Brooke Astor's health on Google, yet I was wondering if any users could provide links relating to this matter. I understand that Mrs. Astor is only of moderate fame (at least in recent years), but I still think it would be interesting to remain informed on her current condition.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted April 21, 2005 She cant have long left cant see her going tell 104 I would have to agree. I would think that her numbers stop at 103. Shes almost a definite sucsess for 2005.....but u always never know she may suprise us. Then she would be a real old bag and try to tie good old long dead "was so crippled and old" Rose Kennedy - 1890 - 1995 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Liebeskind Posted April 25, 2005 what about Nan Kempner? She's also one of those NYC socialites, who is getting up there in years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted April 26, 2005 Nan Kempner, I believe is only 80ish, spectacularly thin and still making the scene. One of the Grand Dames who still buy couture (at $35 to $150,000 a pop!) and looks good in it. Oh , and long live Brooke Astor, 103 wow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Liebeskind Posted April 26, 2005 Nan Kempner is also battling lung cancer and has an oxygen tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
